    And yet they’ve accomplished about as much as each other career wise.

    BTW If James harden cant play in the system without having the ball why doe she want to go to Brooklyn lol Thats kd's team. Harden would have to play off the ball.

    I don’t see him getting along with his new upcoming teammates. His attitude is too diva and I can’t see him holding back.

    Well.... he was fine in the first half. But, when you're down by 25 points, you kinda do quit at that point.

    One slight difference being that Wall didn't shape the franchise to his will and whim then when it didn't work out say I want out.

    I watched the first half he was barely active and played no defense. It was a lay up drill.

    The reality is .. . . .do that and we lose by 40.
    Do we seriously think Wood will start dropping his 3s?
    Wall will actually pass out of a drive?
    Ego will hit his 3s?

    Also the org and fans really did **** on him during his injuries. It was a tough situation for all involved.

    Harden’s will was for Morey and MDA to be gone and for Tilman to talk non-stop about LTS coming off a 65 win season and trip to the WCF?

    Umm don't you think that's 2 totally different things... Lol

    Wall only wanted out after he found out that the Wiz tried to trade him behind his back

    But he still had 13 points in the first half despite not having the ball that much. He was much better in the first half than he was in the 3rd quarter. That's the point I'm making.

    You're bound to quit or have no motivation when your team is playing badly and is down by 25 points.

    Sadly, that series is the highlight of Harden Rockets, and it wouldn't have happened had he stayed in the game. That's f'd up to realize.

    and Harden wants out because he’s been here for almost a decade and is nowhere close to a title...something he expressed to the organization months ago

    Harden doesn’t want to be with this organization just like Wall no longer wanted to be with his for his own reasons

    I'm speaking to before this season, we are in this situation becuase of a lot of the moves that Harden wanted himself. That is a huge part of it.

    The Tillman aspect is just another piece of this jacked up puzzle.

    Tillman quit first. He flushed Morey & MDA. Silas is Cheap and terrible right now and Stone is a newbie who built a roster full of 6’4 forwards who can’t shoot. The guy asked for trade before the season started.
